Americans pay more for prescription drugs than any country in the world, and the pharmaceutical industry earns billions in profits each year. Critics blame pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs, for a portion of those high costs through their role as middlemen between insurance plans, drug makers and pharmacies—but PBMs say they save consumers money. NewsHour Weekend Megan Thompson reports.

APIs are how modern businesses rapidly expand into new contexts—making it possible for companies like Walgreens to digitally transform into omnichannel organizations that serve customers in new and innovative ways.
Join us to hear how Walgreens manages APIs as full-cycle products with the goal of maximizing the productivity of their internal and external developers. You’ll hear how Walgreens now as result fills one prescription per second via mobile devices and powers more than 100 photography apps for photo printing and same-day pickup at 8,000+ locations.
Join Erin Neus-Cheong from Walgreens and Alicia Paterson from Google as they explore why treating APIs as products—not projects—can help companies tap into the value of APIs as business accelerators and open up new channels of opportunity.

August 1, 2018 - Fitbit reports lower losses than expected, shares up 5%
The maker of fitness trackers, Fitbit (FIT), reported a net loss that almost doubled to 49 cents per share in the second quarter on revenue of $299.3 million. On an adjusted basis, the company reported a loss of 22 cents per share, better than 24 cents per share expected by the Wall Street.
Revenue for the quarter fell 15% as the company managed to sell fewer devices this quarter. Analysts had on an average expected just $285.4 million in revenue. Fitbit shares shot up 5% in aftermarket trading.
In the second quarter, Fitbit sold 2.7 million wearable devices, down from 3.4 million a year ago, at a 6% higher average selling price. The company has been struggling due to tight competition from rivals including Apple (AAPL), Garmin and Xiaomi. The company had earlier announced that it expects the reduced demand for its trackers to have a negative impact on the overall sales in the second quarter.
“Within the second quarter, Versa outsold Samsung, Garmin and Fossil smartwatches combined in North America, improving our position with retailers, solidifying shelf space for the Fitbit brand and providing a halo effect to our other product offerings,” CEO James Park said.
In the second quarter, Fitbit sold 2.7 million wearable devices, down from 3.4 million a year ago, at a 6% higher average selling price.
For the third quarter of 2018, the company expects revenue to decline 3% to a range of $370 million to $390 million. Non-GAAP net loss per share for this period is anticipated in the range of $0.02 to $0.01. However, for the full year, the company reiterated its full-year 2018 revenue guidance of approx $1.5 billion.
Earlier today, rival Garmin’s (GRMN) shares rose 2.7% in early trading after it surpassed market expectations on revenue and pro forma EPS in the second quarter. Aftermarket on Tuesday, other rival Apple said its revenue from Other Products (which includes Apple Watch) witnessed a 37% jump in the third quarter to $3.7 billion in the third quarter. Investors sent the shares up 3% following this announcement.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The United States Postal Service (USPS; also known as the Post Office, U.S. Mail, or Postal Service) is an independent agency of the United States federal government responsible for providing postal service in the United States, including its insular areas and associated states. It is one of the few government agencies explicitly authorized by the United States Constitution.
The U.S. Mail traces its roots to 1775 during the Second Continental Congress, when Benjamin Franklin was appointed the first postmaster general. The Post Office Department was created in 1792 from Franklin's operation, elevated to a cabinet-level department in 1872, and transformed in 1971 into the U.S. Postal Service as an independent agency.
The USPS as of February 2015 has 617,254 active employees and operated 211,264 vehicles in 2014. The USPS is the operator of the largest civilian vehicle fleet in the world. The USPS is legally obligated to serve all Americans, regardless of geography, at uniform price and quality. The USPS has exclusive access to letter boxes marked "U.S. Mail" and personal letterboxes in the United States, but now has to compete against private package delivery services, such as United Parcel Service and FedEx.Since the early 1980s, many of the direct tax subsidies to the Post Office, with the exception of subsidies for costs associated with the disabled and overseas voters, have been reduced or eliminated in favor of indirect subsidies, in addition to the advantages associated with a government-enforced monopoly on the delivery of first-class mail. Since the 2006 all-time peak mail volume, after which Congress passed the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act which mandated that $5.5 billion per year be paid to fully prefund employee retirement health benefits, revenue dropped sharply due to recession-influenced declining mail volume, prompting the postal service to look to other sources of revenue while cutting costs to reduce its budget deficit.
